Bringing people into the here-and-now. The real universe. That's the present moment. The past is no good to us. The future is full of anxiety. Only the present is real― the here-and-now. Seize the day.

—Seize the Day， Novelist， Saul Bellow

把人帶到此時此地，來到真實的世界，來到當下。對我們來說，過去沒有什么值得留戀的，未來又充滿焦慮；只有當下是真實的——此時此地。勿失良辰。

——《抓住時機》索爾·貝婁，小說家
